Working/moving to Ireland?

Question

Hello,

I was wondering what would I have to do to legally live and work in Ireland. A little about me.

I was born and raised in Canada and have dual citizenship (Canadian and Italian). I have legal status and have voted in both Italy and Canada as well as having a Canadian and EU passport.

With Ireland being part of the EU and myself with all the documents to live and work in Italy, what would i need to live and work Ireland.

Thanks

Answer 1

As you are part of the EU, thats fine you are legally allowed here in Ireland to work and live.

Answer 2

The Italian passport is the key...you're totally free to do as you wish within the EU!

You're free to both work and live here!

Answer 3

You could move here tomorrow with your Italian passport.

To work here it would simply be a case of getting your PPS (Personal Public Service) number which again is a formality with your Italian passport.

I'd recommend trying to find a job before you move here though because the Republic has quite a high cost of living.

U don t  need anything as an European citizen, just money and a JOB. I have several Canadian friends working/living in Eire and they're v. happy. Well, aside from the weather... :)

All you need is your EU passport :)
